Maple Leafs 5, Penguins 2

Clarke MacArthur, Mikhail Grabovski and Tyler Bozak also scored for the Maple Leafs. Nikolai Kulemin added three assists as Toronto spoiled Pittsburgh's home opener by giving the Penguins a reality check.

Sidney Crosby and reigning NHL MVP Evgeni Malkin scored their first goals of the season for Pittsburgh, but the Penguins struggled with Toronto's speed and failed to play with the kind of discipline that highlighted opening weekend wins over Philadelphia and the New York Rangers.

Pittsburgh coach Dan Bylsma spoke openly about the problems Toronto's quickness provides, saying his team gave the Maple Leafs a little too much room to operate last season. Even with Bylsma experimenting with his lines -- on a couple of occasions he paired Crosby and Malkin in even-strength situations -- Pittsburgh looked a step slow.

Toronto scored twice early in the second period to jump in front, including van Riemsdyk's first goal for Toronto after being acquired in an offseason trade with the Flyers. Crosby needed just 25 seconds to tie it, beating Reimer between the legs on a breakaway for his first goal in 280 days.

The speedy Maple Leafs just kept coming, with van Riemsdyk collecting his second goal of the night -- and his 101st career point -- after intercepting a sloppy clearing attempt by Malkin and firing the puck over Fleury's glove to give Toronto a 3-2 lead.

Toronto went in front despite losing winger Joffrey Lupul midway through the second period after a shot from teammate Dion Phaneuf hit him somewhere in his upper body.

The Maple Leafs didn't need him, not after a Pittsburgh turnover left Grabovski all alone on the doorstep. Grabovski slipped the puck past Fleury to give Toronto a 4-2 lead and send the largest crowd in the brief history of Consol Energy Center heading for the exits a little early.

NOTES: Defensemen Ben Lovejoy, Robert Bortuzzo and center Dustin Jeffrey were scratched by Pittsburgh ... The Penguins travel to Winnipeg on Friday ... Pittsburgh offered free food and half off merchandise to all fans as an apology following the 119-day lockout.
